Bluffview Apartments is a nice complex. I've lived in worse conditions. The one bedrooms are a bit small, and some of the kitchens (including ours) are designed very oddly. There's no room for two people in the kitchen. They use some cheap stuff in the apartments, seemingly hoping it doesn't break. We live in the third floor. Over the early summer there was some flooding of the basement. But once again, they were there immediately to help and fix that problem. I believe this was their first or second year after obtaining this place. It used to be a hotel / old folks home. So they've done some debugging and, overall, they've been great.
That being said: The maintenance guys are friendly and come around within the next day. Our sink broke and he came in and fixed it the next day. They put in a new air conditioner for us as well. No questions asked. There was also a small fire (a smolder) in the downstairs exit due to some electrical wiring. The fire dept responded fast and the maintenance guys fixed it within a week.
Some of the tenants are creepy. As my girlfriend and I walked in one night, a drunk guy came up to us (in the building) and started asking us questions about who lived there. My girlfriend also said that another tenant there looked at her kinda funny. That's what you get when you live in an apartment complex though.
Good water pressure and heat. Dishwasher works. Free heat! Very warm this winter. Summer was blistering though, and the only A/Cs are the wall units. It's quiet. The walls are thick and I haven't ever heard anyone next door. There's a gym with 3 treadmills, 2 bikes, 1 elliptical. At this time there are some washers and driers to be used for free. Unfortunately when they rennovated the gym they put in coin operated laundry. I think they will be transferring over to this entirely, which sucks. But the tenants here like to remove your clothes from the drier before its done anyways, so, forget that.
This place has a great location, in my opinion. Right next to an auto parts store, Subway, a bar (lol) and a gas station. Kwik Trip and Burger King are a short drive away. Walgreens is a short walk away. Good Will nearby too. Plenty to spend your money on.
Overall - I give this a 6/10. It's good. Not the greatest, but that's not to be expected. It's quiet, the maintenance rocks. Centrally located. Plenty of parking. They allow cats.
Hope this helps.
